Default CDMA Outpacing GSM in China

China Unicom announces Novermber subscriber figures.

GSM subs total: 63.108 million
GSM post-paid: 32.314
GSM pre-paid: 30.768
GSM increase over Oct: 0.779
GSM aggregate addition YTD: 9.643

CDMA subs total: 15.746
CDMA post-paid: 15.085
CDMA pre-paid: 0.661
CDMA increase over Oct: 1.096
CDMA aggregate addition YTD: 9.502

This was posted on Unicom's website.

The thread title is just as intelellectually honest (or dishonest) as the claims that 3G Americas is making about GSM Outpacing CDMA in the US. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Unicom's CDMA growth is much larger than their GSM growth on a percentage basis for the entire year, and recently the number of additional CDMA subscribers has been larger than the GSM subscribers added on a month to month basis.

We have two choices: we either stop posting news articles because they are all worthless, or we treat this as a free forum and live and let others live as well.

My Usenet server is slow. There must be a GSM vs. CDMA debate going on.
It could be AT&T's IP network slowing down as well [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Merry Christmas Bobolito,

It is not the news that is worthless. The news is valuable.

The worthless information comes from advocates of one technology or another when they par-se the actual facts to prove an unsupportable point.

The data from Unicom is factual, but my statement about CDMA outpacing GSM in China was meant to humorouosly poke a few holes in the 3G Americas stories which state that GSM is about to dominate the wireless market in the Americas. Neither is true, and the evidence does not support a belief that either will be true in the near future.

Who is not letting live? Like I said I think the article is interesting... had to be fair to the other post and say this one was worthless or I would have been flamed. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

No, you would not have been flamed, some of us have better things to do than to flame you.

The news may be worthless, but it is still interesting to read what is being written. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
